You know Gates is serving The One’s spying needs on the peasants

Gates hasn't been involved with Microsoft for several years now. He stepped down as President in 2008 and as Chairman in 2012.

It's worthwhile to note that ALL of this stuff CAN BE DISABLED. This is a testament to the ignorance of user communities. Take the time to dig around the settings of your OS. Whether it's MacOS, Windows, or even Linux, take an hour out of your day with your new computer (or old computer for that matter) and read every possible setting you can find under Control Panel.

Microsoft has a habit of burying things under layers of windows, but they don't make it impossible to find. You just have to exercise some tenacity.

Gates still has huge influence on Microsoft's operations even from his lair and he just loves Obama

I've long wondered why no one has produced and distributed Unix-style man pages for Windows. Even if they only covered the utilities callable from the command line; that's still a lot of useful info.

I guess everybody is like me and puts up with the stupid "/?" minimalist "usage" stuff.
